History
Whilst using Cerebro, the surviving Cuckoos came under the influence of their clone sister Esme whose psychic presence still existed. She planted the idea in their minds to help restore their deceased sisters. (X-23 v4 #5) Thus, the Cuckoos secretly attempted to resurrect their slain siblings Sophie and Esme. This involved abducting the brilliant geneticist Dr. Helen Marks and using their telepathy to control her to aid in the resurrection efforts. (X-23 v4 #1)
Mindee managed to enter into the X-Mansion where she used Cerebro to amplify her powers and with the assistance of Celeste along with Phoebe they combined their efforts to stop their mad sister Esme. This allowed Laura to dislodge Esme from Gabby's body thus leading to her dying again where in the psychic plain Sophie sought to bury her psyche so that she could never be a danger again. (X-23 v4 #5)
